Color Change of Gemstones by Exposure to Gamma Rays

Antônio Carlos 6627 31270-901 Belo Horizonte, MG [email protected] ABSTRACT A gem is appreciated by collectors and, when polished, widely used for jewelry manufacturing. For example, when quartz naturally or artificially acquires a color it becomes a gemstone (smoky quartz, morion, citrine, amethyst, or prasyolite). The presence of chromophore elements in a quartz sample was analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). With a semi-quantitative analysis of the absorption FTIR spectra, it was possible to predict if colorless quartz has the potential to develop color when exposed to ionizing radiation and heat. Specific absorption bands show the presence of chromophore elements in quartz such as aluminum, iron, hydrogen, sodium, or lithium. Considering the ratio of the heights of the absorption bands of these elements, it was possible to predict the color quartz can develop. Samples of irradiated dark and light violet fluorites were analyzed by FTIR and energy-dispersive X-rays spectroscopy. The light violet samples has higher content of calcium relative to fluorine, as well higher content of hydroxyl, probably replacing fluorine in crystal lattice.

Mcconnell's Flycatcher Mionectes Macconnelli Is More Than One Species
Steven L. Hilty & David Ascanio 270 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(4) McConnell’s Flycatcher Mionectes macconnelli is more than one species by Steven L. Hilty & David Ascanio Received 25 April 2014 Summary.—Information on voice, display behaviour, elevational distribution and morphology of McConnell’s Flycatcher Mionectes macconnelli indicate that the two northern populations, long regarded as a single species, actually comprise two species-level taxa—a widespread lowland form macconnelli and a highland form roraimae. The two forms are similar in plumage, but difer signifcantly in wing and tail length, and most importantly in vocalisations and display behaviour. They are separated by elevation, with macconnelli found in humid lowland forest up to c.500 m and roraimae usually well above 500 m. Another highland taxon, mercedesfosteri, difers litle from roraimae and is not recognised here as distinct, although its voice is unknown. Two isolated populations, one in central Peru, the other in lowland Amazonia are not evaluated, but merit additional study. During the past few decades a beter understanding of mechanisms underpinning reproductive isolation has sparked a re-examination of species limits of many taxa. Avian vocalisations and habitat preferences, in particular, have been shown to be important isolating mechanisms (Zimmer 1997, Isler et al. 1999, Zimmer & Whitaker 2000, Whitaker 2002, Salaman et al. 2003, Braun et al. 2005). This paper documents an example of two morphologically similar forms, Mionectes m. macconnelli and M. m. roraimae, which we believe have achieved reproductive isolation through voice, behaviour and diferences in elevational distribution. McConnell’s Flycatcher Mionectes macconnelli is a drab, mostly olive-plumaged Tyrannidae found east of the South American Andes.

Much time, energy and mental effort will have been devoted to fine- tuning gem nomenclature, debating treatment disclosure and mulling over a plethora of ways in which social and environmental factors impact on our industry. Then what? Contents CIBJO is primarily a confederation of gem and jewellery trade organizations from around the world. In a laborious but essentially democratic process the representatives of these bodies decide the best approaches to the various issues and then go home and do their best to implement 4 them among their members. People often complain that CIBJO doesn’t do much to enforce or police the guidelines it provides, but that is missing the point. It is up to the trade organizations in each country (working in unison if there is more than one such organization in a country) to make all reasonable effort to ensure that their members understand and implement CIBJO guidelines.

Press Release 20/11/2013 Debut of New Colors in the Balance
Nov 20, 2013 To all members of the press Debut of New Colors in the balance pouch Series of the TASAKI Leather Collection TASAKI & Co., Ltd. (Mr. Toshikazu Tajima, CEO and President; Kobe head office: 6-3-2 Minatojima -Nakamachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe; Tokyo head office: 5-7-5 Ginza, Chuo Ward, Tokyo) is going to launch sales of balance pouch items with three new colors especially for its Leather Collection for the 2013 autumn and winter fashion season, beginning in early October. All radiating a timely warmth, the three new hues are an elegant and soft citrine (beige), an eye-catching florid garnet, and a delicate and cute morganite (pink). The first leather goods ever to bear the TASAKI brand, the balance pouch series was first offered for sale in April 2013. It garnered popularity for its whimsical design, which rests on a sumptuous pairing of freshwater pearls mounted on a ring after the fashion of balance signature, an item from TASAKI's iconic balance assortment of jewelry, and a silver mini-charm. For the AW season, we made pouches of the best cowhide and treated the surface with a precision embossing process called "prism." In contrast to the touch of the outer surface, which is sleek and taut, the inside of the pouch was made as soft and supple as possible. In addition, a switch was made from a magnetic hook to an insert-type leather belt for the opening. TASAKI craftsmen paid close attention to the finest details so that even credit cards and the like could also be carried around in the pouch with peace of mind.
